Afghanistan is an ancient and historical country facing a number of problems. This country has always chased others or it has faced invasion by others. This country has spent most of its time in dominance or wars. It has seen very few good days. The courageous people of this country have never given in to any foreigners on their soil. Afghans can never accept presence of foreigners and aliens on their soil.
Although other forces of the world provide every kind of support under the pretext of population welfare and development, the Afghans still prefer their independence and sovereignty. This nation loves independence and sovereignty. It has Ghazni that has beautiful forests, rich natural resources, vast green meadows, and various mineral deposits. Its dry farming lands also produce crops and fruits.
Islamic Spirit and Temperament
The courageous people of this country have always been victimized through wars. However, it is such a nation that is used to sustaining loss but its temperament is courageous. The dear and courageous nation of this country possesses a great Islamic spirit. Whatsoever problems and difficulties this nation faces, it remains patient by relying on God. Nevertheless, it cannot tolerate any foreigners in the country. It is the Islamic and national culture of this nation.
The ideological Afghans have shown great courage whenever it came across any resistance. It is the principle of this nation that if the head of government or king is to surrender, he never surrenders to the foreigners or their organizations. He fights against the foreigners in every town, village, tribe, and home until they collapse and find their way to their own home and village. How can democracy not face problems in this country?
Meaning and Background
Democracy is a Latin word that is combination of two words demos and kratos. In Latin, demos means people and kratos means power. Democracy means power of people. Democracy means authority. It is said that Greece is a country of very ancient and historical governments. That is why political terminology, names, and titles have been taken from Latin language. It is said that Greece has remained a country with absolute monarchy in the past where king had the absolute authority. Decisions about war, governance, justice, and grants were taken exclusively by the king.
The people became fed up with that system and started protests against it. After a long prevalence of protests and rallies by people, the Greek regime was compelled to pass a resolution for change of system. The Greek regime decided that the royal system would be replaced by government that is democracy. It was decided that Greek administration would be established according to its people's wishes and it would be run by their representatives. Similarly, it was decided that the resolution would be converted into a law and national covenant. Every citizen would respect the law that would have supremacy over all. Law would be equally binding on everybody. An environment for respectable living of people would be ensured and they would receive equal rights.
Favorable Environment
After 770 years of monarchy in Greece, democracy and government were established. Later in 1212, democracy also reached the United Kingdom during the regime of King John. In this way, after 400 years of civil war, the United Kingdom also established democracy in 1815. Later, democracy reached Switzerland also. In this country, there was favorable environment for democracy as its people had no national ideology.
Political awareness of people was very high and they recognized democracy very soon. In this way, when democracy reached the United States it was applied very soon as the United States was a country made through federation of various states. It is worth mentioning that democracy got more growth in the United States and ten more clauses were added to its design. It is worth mentioning that, in Asia, democracy reached Iran in 1906 but it could not be implemented because of environmental constraints. In the same way, the thought of democracy reached India later but it was implemented very well there. It is worth mentioning that democracy is progressing in India very well for the past 60 years.
Bringing Parliamentary System
The holy religion of Islam has been sent by God as a perfect system. The system of Islam serves as a law in every sphere of life. Rights of every citizen are protected in Islam. Everybody has equal rights according to the holy religion of Islam; for example rights of husband and wife, parents, customers, shopkeepers, traders, teachers, students, officials and officers, judicial and security officials are clearly shown in Islam.
The Islamic system possesses institutes for head of the state, deputies, advisers, parliament, courts, and many other organizations. Islam possesses every such system and it does not require any of the other worldly systems. If there is any deficiency in Islamic world, that is our ignorance. We do not have knowledge or we are ignorant of Islam; or else we deny Islam or we do not want its implementation. Another issue is that non-Muslim countries are trying to promote democracy in the Islamic world. If the purpose of democracy is to bring a parliamentary system and public government then it is good. The enlightening religion of Islam also focuses on this. If democracy means equal rights for all then according to Islam all people are equal before law.
In Afghanistan, all tribes and clans have equal rights. It should not be forgotten that according to law every person's rights are known, not like an unknown collection where right and wrong are indistinguishable. If we establish a system other than Islam, we would decide about right and wrong and we would include in law what we like and exclude or amend what we do not like. Nevertheless, the holy religion of Islam has come not only for the guidance of an individual but also for the guidance of the entire humanity and all rights are clear and equal for all.
Recognition and Implementation
The country needs a government to implement the religion. A true Muslim always follows the leader who respects Islam, brings peace, teaches his followers the knowledge and culture of Islam, and paves the way for recognition and implementation of Islam. In case every government manages justice, then no one can ask the tribes of Shikri, Barakzai, and Karokhel that Islam is not the right religion and that we need democracy.
The supporters of democracy are facing some financial constraints and have greed for achieving some status. The devil is not letting them work for the hereafter. Afghan Muslims are suffering because of the enmity among them because of their ignorance, rivalry, and improper education. They oppress their women and deprive them of their rights. By doing this, other opponents and ignorant people have started their armed struggle against Islam.
Knowledge and Wisdom
If Afghan Muslims act on the framework of the holy religion of Islam in their internal relations and also in family, husband and wife, brother and sister, father and daughter, and other relations, you will see that even one percent of people would not be found preferring any other regime over Islam. Because of ignorance about Islam, both sides are in opposition to each other and considering other reforms; and consequently, the name of Islam is being pointed out.
In fact, democracy is not what some people expect as hilarity, obscenity, and nudity like the West. Such kind of democracy has neither any legal worth nor it can make any government. Obscenity and nudity are such devilish forces that cause human senses not to work for a limited time and they ruin the discipline and affairs of life. Similarly, obscenity and nudity cause demise of knowledge and wisdom and trigger illiteracy.
The people wish for all of this because of the blasphemous constraints and this is rejected in the Islamic as well as the worldly law. Afghanistan is a country, with a few leaders, where illiteracy is high, ethnicity has its roots, language is honored, and minority and majority have existence. Eighty-two percent of the country's population is rural and only 18 percent are urban citizens. Almost all of its people are farmers and nomads possessing livestock. A young class of people in Afghanistan is officials who live in cities. Every class of people honors its history, culture, and regional traditions. They live according to their culture and everybody's course of life and character are obvious. They know how to continue their life.
Nobody wonders that what he or she would be doing next day. It is better that everybody knows his or her future responsibilities; life seems transparent, and everybody is continuing it in his own way and according to his own traditions. Elders, ulema, chieftains, and spirituality are respectable in this community and they have authority and influence. They are considered the leaders and protectors of the majority of people. They are cherished by special as well as common people. How can democracy be implemented in such a country where power remains with mullah (religious scholar), chieftain, syed (descendant of the Prophet Mohammad), and mujaddid (according to the popular Muslim tradition, a person who appears at turn of every century of the Islamic calendar to revive Islam, remove from it any extraneous elements and restore it to its pristine purity). If, in such circumstances, someone desires implementation of democracy, a situation would arise where a daughter would be hugging other man in the presence of her father; or a wife would be hugging a non-mahram (stranger) in presence of her husband. Because of these obscenities, mosques would become vacant; or God forbid, they would be locked. None of these actions is possible in Afghanistan.
Assessment
Therefore, on the aforementioned grounds, the recent world laws do not correspond to democracy because democracy is a political form of government. These actions are, in fact, because of enmity with Islam and Afghan; moreover, it is a struggle to bring obscenity in Afghanistan and God willing, none of these undesirable wishes would come true. The majority of Afghans would become united against this struggle to stop its realization. If anybody wanted to realize these wishes, Afghans would take him to grave along with them.
